Blizzard has told Diablo 4 players to stop using game-modifying software or risk their account suffering a permanent ban.
In a message posted to the Blizzard forums, Diablo community chief Adam Fletcher made clear the developer’s position on unauthorised modifications, many of which it said are used to cheat. Fletcher even called out one piece of software, called TurboHUD4, which has proved a popular option among the community, especially hardcore players pushing against the outer edges of Diablo 4’s endgame.
Between this and the latest patch starting the bad monetization practices makes me glad I held off buying this.
47I was going to play it if it came to gamepass, but its not, so im not playing it
5Game pass version will be announced within a week of the MS deal closing. They can’t really announce it before. Seems inevitable.

Why not introduce an offline mod mode then where there isn't achievements and stuff in exchange for letting people play around.
21You can’t monetize that
48I was watching the drama around the nerf patch with a little amusement. It's like people don't think that they will slow the game down to start creating space for monetized ways to speed it back up. They knew they couldn't really just release it with the same framework as Diablo Immortal, they need to ease the player base into monetized progression.
Blizzard is a great example of the concept that, when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
14Those bastards.

I remember fooling around in text file for the game tiberian sun. Just boosting the power of certain units. Very fun, but impossible with today's always online games. Very sad.

I just stopped using the game. Because it bored me.
15I honestly haven’t bothered looking into this game until today because my wife and I enjoyed playing 3 together a bunch and I started playing the first one again recently. The always online feature for me is an instant no purchase. I’ll play other ARPGs instead for my fix.
13I can't decide if this is worth playing or not. My friends hype it up but also tlhonestly it seems aggressively mediocre
2Path of Exile is incredible, and free :)
1Tbf that one is also always online.

Last Epoch has an offline mode

This is why I don't play any of Blizzard's games anymore. All they want to do is monetize every single little thing. Their secret to greed is: 1) convince people to buy an overpriced game 2) convince people to play the overpriced game and buy overpriced things in the game. Blizzard can go suck it until they knock it off. I haven't played Diablo since Diablo 2. There are plenty of wonderful games like Diablo that don't pull this shit. The Torchlight games are fun, for example. I'd say even better than Diablo. Grim Dawn is also awesome. No need for Diablo, really, at least in my life. The same can be said for a lot of their other money grubbing games. Hearthstone can be replaced by a huge number of games that don't try to get players to buy packs of cards., for example. All the alternatives can be modified with no issues and you can get mods through Steam.
11The Torchlight games are fun, for example.
*The first two Torchlight games are worth your money.
3 & 4 are garbage at this point.
5saying 3 and 4 are bad could be a meme. I disagree with this typical, mostly unjustified opinion about 3. I like Torchlight 3. I haven't tried 4 so I can't give an opinion about it but it probably isn't as bad as whining gamers say it is. Anyway, my point was that nobody needs to waste their money on Diablo, not about which games are better or worse.. There are plenty of games that are just as good or better and aren't money grabbers. I love Grim Dawn.

Loved Grim Dawn!

Stop giving them your money and time.
2I fail to see how TurboHUD hurts the Blizz bottom line. I guess if they ban in wide enough waves they can lure in people willing to buy multiple copies?
